Outline
Organic system functional materials are rapidly gaining in importance as key components in the development of new technologies with potential to transcend many of today's limitations, and their development continues apace. Among these are organic semiconductor thin films, expected to produce the next generation in display technology, such as organic LEDs, electronic paper and information tag biosensors. Another is a conductive polymer developed by Dr.Shirakawa, a Nobel prize winner, and another Nobel laureate, Dr.Noyori's catalytic asymmetric synthesis. Biotechnology, fused with IT, represents the latest in organic technology and is expected to affect a broad range of fields such as functional materials, medicine, genome research, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, environmental studies and energy. It is certain to be one of the major technological advances of the 21st century.
The Organic Materials Technology Exhibition and the International Conference on Organic Materials Technology -- ORGATECHNO 2008 -- has been organized with the aim of promoting organic system functional materials as the next horizon in the field. The focus is placed on the latest trends in organic polymer-materials, devices and technology, based on nano-technological advances in the various fields of electronics, including flexible displays, OLEDs, LCDs, as well as on biotech, including DNA chips, genome analysis, and on new functional materials, such as the carbon nanotube. Organic functional materials, fabrication and processing systems, metrology, methods of control and varied applications will be introduced as key technologies.
ORGATECHNO also provides a venue for universities, associations and companies with research results with potential or even actual products, as well as the ventures, industrial associations and governmental entities that support them to meet and discuss their concerns and aspirations.
